Zoom XYH-6 overview

1Description

The Zoom XYH-6 - X/Y Microphone Capsule for Zoom H5 and H6 Field Recorders is an interchangeable component in Zoom's H5 and H6 modular recorder system. The capsule features two matched unidirectional microphone elements positioned in an X/Y pattern with an adjustable angle of between 90 and 120 degrees. This arrangement enables allows the recorder to pickup sounds in a cardioid polar pattern, and is predominately sensitive to sounds directly in front of the recorder and less sensitive to sounds on the side or to the rear of the device. The XY pattern allows recordings played back in mono to have a fuller sound than would normally be possible from a single microphone element. The unit can be used for a wide range of applications including studio, live performance, rehearsals, and TV broadcast, among others.

fairly nice modular microphoneI used it with zoom H5 and I believe this is a big upgrade compared with the original xyh-5. xyh-6 provides 120 degrees and sq wise xyh-6 wins. with xyh-6 the decay of sound could be captured. However, this is a heavy mic. And you have to pay extra to get it for h5

XYH-6 Microphone Capsule for Zoom H5 and H6 Field RecordersEasy interchangeable mic capsules. I have the Zoom H5 recorder. I purchased this capsule because it has the adjustable 90 & 120 degree mics that the stock capsule that came with the H5 did not have. Excellent audio with this capsule.
